We had a celebration of life gathering for my dad on Saturday at my mom's house. It was exactly how he would have wanted it, with about 100 of his favorite people in attendance. He would have loved it!
Jeff, Albie, and Ali (uncle and cousins) drove up from California. It was so great to see them!
Bouncy house for the kids. The big excitement of the day was 'Lady'...Ali's new 4 legged friend.
Lots of friends are starting to gather, look at photos, and connect!
More friends and family.
Diane and Kay hugging my mom. Very sweet picture!
More friends. Many of these people I had not seen or talked to in about 20 years. It was so much fun to reconnect.
Wolfe, Mom, Grover and Linda. They all go waaaaaaaay back!
Uh-oh! Time for some first aid. Nate got two yellow jacket stings. All of the cousins were very concerned.
Brian, Brian, Brian. Good ol' Brian Kroeker doing his childhood trick. This was just one of many that did had us laughing til we cried. Contrary to his mom's warnings, they never did stay that way!
Brian's sisters, Jill and Laurie. These Kroeker kids were our BFF's back in our early years. We all LOVED seeing them again!
Erika, Caroline, Roger, Mark and Brian.
Karen, Mom, and Uncle Marshall giving a shout-out to Stu.
On Sunday, some family got back together again and we had a birthday cake for cousin Albie. Can't believe that he's 23! Just yesterday we was a cute little baby. Where does the time go?
Slaters and Albadas.
I'm certain that Stu was watching down over the party and loved every minute of it.
